Guild Wars 2

This is the only way this mode is going to legitimately have two equal sides to it, instead of massive over incentive for just offense.

With the inclusion of lord chests, and now ascended materials dropping, it has pushed the desirability of offense over defense to ten times even what it ever was, to a truly untenable position. Where players are almost happy to see held objectives fall, so as to get to take them back for more chests.

However, the advantage defense can have over offense, if properly rewarded, is that you can run defense events over and over without ever actually losing your objective, or having to wait for the opponent to take it back, so that you can then take it back again yourself. Defense could potentially be more rewarding than offense because of this.

Defense events would likely need to be extended to justify a chest reward, likely to 10 or 15 minutes. Additionally, some minimum amount of damage to walls or door might need to be instituted to prevent abuse from someone simply tagging a door. But ultimately I think this is the direction they have to go to restore any sort of equal front balance to the idea of world vs world.
